The Wholefood Nutritionist

Wholefood Nutrition and Wholistic Lifestyle practices offer solutions to restore our body's natural ability to thrive.

I am a degree qualified Wholistic Nutritionist specialising in Digestive Health, Detoxification, Parasite Cleansing and the restoration of Optimal Gut function.
10,000 years ago Hippocrates "the Father of Medicine " proclaimed “All Disease begins in the Gut” and it is on this premise that I base my work in order to achieve total body, mind, spirit healing and integration for my clients and family. I have been in practice now for 15 years and have tried and tested many different methods of optimising the healing and vitality processes of the body. The latest medical research and my clinical observations strongly indicate that most of the modern diseases we are faced with today, including Allergies, Arthritis, Asthma, Cancer, Depression, Dementia, Diabetes & Heart disease etc are driven by factors such as diet, exercise, lifestyle and pollution which can trigger inflammation, infection and auto-immune disease. By addressing these underlying causes and restoring optimal gut health we can greatly improve physical and mental health while reducing the risk of future disease and the need for medication.

Recent research underscores significant risks associated with long-term ADHD medication use and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as high blood pressure and arterial conditions.

A comprehensive study in Sweden, spanning from 2007 to 2020, analyzed over 278,027 individuals diagnosed with ADHD. The results are cautionary: extended use of ADHD medications is associated with a significant increase in cardiovascular disease risks, including high blood pressure and arterial conditions. Each additional year of medication use raises CVD risk by 4%, emphasizing the importance of monitoring heart health during treatment.

Highlighting the importance of monitoring and assessing the long-term health implications, this study calls for vigilant cardiovascular care in individuals undergoing prolonged ADHD treatment.

Cold water immersion (CWI) therapy, including ice baths and cold plunges, is one of the clearest and best examples of why you should never group men and women into the same category when optimal recovery strategies are concerned.

When we look at female data, women vasodilate after they exercise (all their blood goes to their periphery), thus having a cooling mechanism sends it back centrally to help with their recovery. But for men, their blood goes centrally, thus cooling won't necessarily help.

What about CWI blunting adaptations to exercise conversation that is circulating (https://bit.ly/47eu5lv)? We see responses are time and exercise mode dependent. For acute blocks of hard training, three minutes of CWI is highly beneficial for women with regards to sending blood back centrally and reducing DOMS (https://bit.ly/3MlZ3Qr). Why 3 minutes? 3 minutes or less is the initial immersion response of skin cooling; after 3 minutes, we start to see superficial neuromuscular cooling, which can lend to a blunting to resistance training adaptations (https://bit.ly/47e8KIL).

How cold is cold enough? For women, ~59'F/15'C; (a far cry above the icy waters of male studies). Women start shivering at higher temperatures than men, and feel colder and less comfortable than men at the same temperatures (https://bit.ly/47euc0p); thus the effects of CWI is at a more temperate temperature.

Did you know that "the expiration date is not the date that the drug stops being effective or potentially becomes toxic. It is a date, required by law, that the manufacturer can guarantee greater than 90% original potency of the medication."

This article https://www.medscape.com/s/viewarticle/996754 specifically mentions EpiPens, antibiotics, eyedrops, inhalers etc. It's an interesting read if you've ever wondered about this before...now we only need to know the equivalent for every nutritional and herbal formulation...anyone??
